Lindsay Anderson's 1968 masterpiece, "If...", deals fundamentally -
and controversially - with England and quintessential
'Englishness'. Coming six years after Anderson's double
Oscar-nominated debut feature, "This Sporting Life", "If..." was
the first film ever with a British setting and cast to win the
Palme d'Or for Best Film at Cannes. The fruit of Anderson's
first-hand studies of the Czech, Polish and Indian New Waves led by
Milos Forman, Andrzej Wajda and, most famously, Satyajit Ray, it
prophesied - and then mirrored - an international outbreak of
youthful rebellion. An authority on Lindsay Anderson and his films,
Sutton here draws on massive quantities of original material:
Anderson's private archive, which illuminates the film's
autobiographical elements; the original script "Crusaders"; the
sequel on which he was working at the time of his death; interviews
with key members of cast and crew including lead Malcolm McDowell,
all are here explored to unravel the mysteries of a film which
continues to delight, enrage and inspire.
